What a Shape-Your-Own Cloud provides

If you find yourself chafing against the limitations (and risks) of public clouds, it’s probably worth a moment of your time to stick around and find out about what I call shaping your own Cloud.

By shaping your own Cloud, you’ll get…

Modest cost — because you’re accessing pooled resources, but only the resources you need (on demand) when you need them (measured service),

Rapid, elastic provisioning of those resources — because they reside on a sophisticated infrastructure designed to automate configuration and provide broad network access,

The ability to customize the precise capabilities you need so you get the Cloud services you want how you want them – including ways that enable you to keep using and deriving value from your existing systems and applications, and

The power to choose and even combine Cloud deployment options, to ensure your IT environment is as efficient, productive, and affordable as possible.
